my mks toe clips have njs stamped on them and they're shit

I wish snap-on did bike tools..

I mean, park stuff? it's shite quality compared to most mechanic's hand tools for other applications.

in my bag there is always:

spanners 15, 10, 12, 13mm
a multi tool thing
chain breaker
folding allen key set
spare tube
puncture repair
3 tyre levers
spare contact lenses
latex gloves
KFC wipe
lock ring
assorted bits I can't remember
spare chain links
now some chain lube I bought from a shop in Wimbledon that don't sell track sprockets

did that get pasted over the David Beckham poster? from when football was the thing..

or has there been several other flavours in between?

road users who have a blanket attitude (either way) to "red light jumping" have little understanding of how roads and junctions actually work.

the law states you stay put at a red light, which will pretty much work fine PROVIDING you get into the right position and can see properly.

however, many crossings and junctions will show a red whilst it's perfectly safe (and in some cases safer) for a push bike to proceed.

The skill is in knowing where and when these situations arise.

Now, can we hear no more of it and get back to drinking and pimp sprockets?

this isn't C+

if you really must put mtb bars on a road or track bike ;)

azonics, proven and cheap enough.

but if you want very cheap, look at ebay or classifieds on singletrackworld.com mtb'ers are rich, they give stuff away

actually he meant to say riding fixed makes hair grow on your back

works for me

I like the idea of rebadging old frames with silly names like:

Harry Monk, or Alfie Noakes

a bike should have a man's name written on it. (although I'd happily ride a bareknuckle)

if that was my size, I'd be tempted.

when I was riding behind you the other day David, your cadence was noticebly slower than the rest of us at the same speed.

Imagine when you get the fucker spinning though!

oh, right. time to dig them out again!

RIP mark sandman

Jos: I’m just happy riding around not annoying to many other road users. That is the real trick, don’t swear at the pedestrian or the cabby if you just came wizzing through a red light from a one way street ??! WTF. That way I don’t have to be confronted with an ever growing population of aggitated road users hating every single cyclist that they see when I’m working.

Word.

and maybe it is getting better out there, I think it could be

fixed wheel bikes ain't cool

most of your friends or other cyclists still don't understand the point of it. they don't think you're cool, they think you're an idiot, or a masochist

as for beards!

bus lanes good.

buses bad.

shit man!
in the wars, you got hit? is the bike ok?

hope the finger heals up good.

I missed today as I've got a fucking cold. not best pleased about that.

that's it, I'm going to the states.

just need to work this summer out, then a big visit US style.
NYC then LA then SF

ten years!

must be good then?

why bother?

if there are braze-ons then it's not a track frame, and if you're not going to get a paint job....

my bike is covered in unused braze-ons

I spend the time I've saved not grinding them off by doing other things, like masturbation or saving up for a frame without braze-ons.

how demure of you!

highly commendable, I would given him the fight he wanted..

well, maybe not exactly how he wanted ;)

Fixedwheelnut:Who is the last guy in your photo set with a 'Minoura Space grip' for handle bars? feck there narrow aren't they.

that's damnham!

I have seen even narrower bars than those around!

I guess if you think about how much of the flat you use on your drops, it's probably about the same size, I've got narrow drops and the flat is just big enough for a brake and pair of grips.

you know, your spoke card design is pretty cool.
it's gotta be t-shirts next

good to meet some of you today.

it's surprising how tiring sitting around and watching other people racing can be!

what we really need is a forum like that for London riders

I don't like it.

it's in LA and I'm not

if batman rode fixed...

hopefully, but it looks ever more doubtful with work rearing it's ugly (but necesssary) head

I have to build a bike first, then I can ride down if it doesn't need major surgery
